Mohabbat Ki Koi Manzil Nahi Hai, Mohbbat Mouj Hai Saahil Nahi Hai
Meri Afsurdagi Peh Hanse Wale, Tere Pehlo Mein Shayad Dil Nahi Hai
Ajj Hum nay youn he khushi karli, Dil jala kar he roshni karli
Atay jatay raha karo sahib, Anay janay main kyun kami karli
Doub Kar teri neli anhkhon main, Ghark hum na tu zindagi karli
Ek fakat teri dosti ka liya, Sari duniya say dushmani karli
Sar jis paa na jhuk jaya, Osay Daar nahi kahatay
Her Daar pa jo jhook jaya, Osay Sar nhai Kahtay
Kya Tujh ko jaha walay sitamgar nahi kahatay
Kahatay honga lakin teray mou pa nahi kahatay
Kabay main her ek Sajaday ko kahaty hain Ibadat
Mainkhanay main her jaam ko Sagar nahi kahatay
Kabay main Muslma ko bhi kah detain hain Kafir
Mainkhanay main Kafir ko bhi Kafir nahi kahaty
Jo nazar aar par ho jaye, Wohi dil ka qaraar ho jay
Apni zulfon ka daal do saya, Teergi khushgawar ho jay
Teri Nazron ko dekh paye agar, Shaikh bhi maigusaar ho jay
Tujh ko daikhe jo ik nazar Foran, Chand bhi sharam saar ho jay
Aaina apne samnay se hata, Yeh na ho khud se pyar ho jay
Mout Kiss tarhay aya Bali per, Tuo agar ek baar ho jay
Aap Baithe Hain Balin Peh Meri, Mout ka zoor chalta nahi hai
Mout mujh ko gawara hai lakin, Kya karo dum nikalta nahi hai
Yaa adda yaa Nazakat Brasil, Mera dil tum pa Kurban lakin
Kya Sambhalo ga tum meray dil ko, Jab ya Anchal sambhalta nahi hai
Mero Naalo soun kar Zamanay, Hoo gai Moum kitni chataanay
Main na Pighla diya Pathraon ko, Ek tera dil pighalta nahi hai
Sheikh jee ke nasiyat bhi achi, Baat waiz ke khoob lakin
Jab bhi chaatee hai Kaali Ghataya, Bin piya kam chalta nahi hai
Dekha lay meri maiyat ka manzar, Loug khanda badlatay chalaya hain
Ek teri bhi Doli chali hai, Koi Khanda badlata nahi hai
Mainkdha ka sabhi peenay walay, Larkhara kar Sambhlatay hain lakin
Teri nazroon ka jo jaam pee la, Umer bhar wo Sambhlata nahi hai
Aap Baithe Hain Balin Peh Meri, Mout ka zoor chalta nahi hai

Overall Meaning:
The song Aap Baithe Hain Balin Peh Meri by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is a contemplation of love, life, death, and spirituality. The opening line of the song "Mohabbat Ki Koi Manzil Nahi Hai, Mohbbat Mouj Hai Saahil Nahi Hai" means that love has no destination, no shore to rest. It is like a wave that keeps moving, and there is no end to it. The songwriter asserts that he is absurd and ridiculous, and people laugh at him. However, he finds solace in the gaze of his loved one.
The next stanza talks about the impermanence of life and urges the listener to enjoy life and not waste time; "Anay janay main kyun kami karli." The songwriter also speaks about the hypocrisy of people who claim to be religious but mistreat others. He believes that prayer should be done with sincerity and not just going through the motions. The following stanza urges people to take action when they see something that needs to be changed, not just look on and lament.
The song's chorus, "Aap Baithe Hain Balin Peh Meri" means "You are seated beside me," and the following line, "Mout ka zoor chalta nahi hai" means "Death's strength does not diminish." The songwriter speaks of accepting death but is conflicted about the pain and suffering that accompany it. He asks his beloved if they will take care of his heart when he is no longer there and is conflicted about the transience of life.
